physiology 3 renal Flashcards
Filtered sodium is about
26000 mmol/day
mmol of Na+ excretion is excreted in urine each day.
150 mmol
how much of the filtered Na reabsorbed?
99.50%
Does the filteration fraction with an increase in sodium
nope
What increases with an increas in sodium intake
RPF and GFR + excretion of sodium
a decrease in sodium intake increases
FF
Which decreases more? The RPF or GFR?
RPF
The ability of the tubules to increase reabsorption rate in response to increased GFR and tubular load.
glomerutubular balance
This balance minimizes the effect of changes in GFR and prevents overloading of tubules.
purpose of glomerutubular balance
The proximal tubule tends to reabsorb a constant proportion (65%) of the glomerular filtrate rather than a constant amount.
just know it.
eflex vasoconstriction or dilatation of afferent arteriole in response to changes in tubular flow.
Tubulo-glomerular feedback
Funtion of TGF
Increased flow rate in late ascending limb of loop of Henle and first part of distal convoluted tubuleàdecreases GFR (decreased flow increases GFR)
ThesensorforTGFisthe
macula densa
High flow rate and high NaCl in the macula densa results in
release of substances like (ATP) à generate adenosine, a potent vasoconstrictor of afferent arteriole àdecrease GFR.
which substances enhance TGF, and which blunt it
angio 2 + ROS enahnce, NO blunts
